Description
The house at 1949 West 57th Avenue is a one and a half storey wood frame house with predominantly historical significance. It is located on a portion of the original farm settled in 1892 by pioneers William and Eliza Shannon.
The house, a good example of the Craftsman style, was built in 1920 by A.L. Earle and has remained in the Earle family to the present day. Its construction coincided with subdivision of this part of the Shannon farm in the early 1920s.
The house was included in an early marketing brochure as an example of the more modest houses in the area; all the others included in this brochure were larger estates along Southwest Marine Drive.
